There are good things about this debut from Peruvian writer-director Javier Fuentes-León. Set in a small village on the country’s balmy coastline, it’s nothing if not easy on the eye, and the acting’s engaging and sympathetic.

The story, though, is troublesome. A fisherman (Cristian Mercado) hides a gay affair from his pregnant wife (Tatiana Astengo), until his lover (Manolo Cardona) drowns and starts visiting as a friendly ghost.

There’s an interest in the sanctity of burial customs and being true to yourself, but the clumsier moments seem to suggest that you’re better off with an imaginary, dead boyfriend than a real live one.
